Thermal imaging in maritime environments
FLIR Systems has more than 50 years of experience in the
development and production of thermal imaging cameras for
night vision applications. Recent technological developments
have brought technology which was reserved for military
and high-end scientifc users to many more applications. An
obvious application is night vision on yachts, cruise-ships and
many other vessels.
Thermal imagers are very efective in maritime environments.
They can detect objects foating in the water which may
damage a vessel, or even worse, sink it. Other vessels, shipping
lane trafc, buoys, bridges, ... it is all seamlessly detected by
thermal imaging.
Even objects which can not be detected by a radar system such
as sail boats, wooden boats, foating debris, ... become clearly
visible when you are using a thermal imager.
Voyager: a reliable instrument for night vision
applications on board of ships
Voyager II was especially developed for maritime applications.
It is a powerful, multi-sensor, mid range thermal night vision
system. It features two thermal imaging cameras and one
daylight / low light camera. One thermal imager has a wide
angle feld of view and is ideal for navigation and situational
awareness. The other, with the narrow feld of view, allows the
user to zoom in onto objects that are very small or far away.
The Voyager II will allow you to detect objects, which are the
size of a human being, more than 2 km away. Objects foating
in the water, the size of 2.3 x 2.3 meter, can be detected up to
practically 6 km away. The Voyager II will detect these objects
even in total darkness, through smoke, light fog and in the
most diverse weather conditions.
The Voyager II comes with a fully integrated and gyro-stabilized
Pan/Tilt. It provides you with a continuous 360 rotation and a
steady image in any sea state.
A thermal imager is a camera which is capable of detecting extremely small temperature diferences. These
temperature diferences can be converted into a real-time video image. Displayed on a monitor, this video image
is extremely suited for night vision applications. Unlike other night vision systems that require low amounts of
light to generate an image, a thermal imager needs no light at all. This makes it the perfect tool to see in absolute
darkness, to see during the darkest night.

Crisp thermal images 320 x 240 pixels
The Voyager II provides crisp, clear thermal imaging,
320 x 240 pixels, in total darkness, smoke and light fog. It
allows you to see small details and detect more and
smaller objects at further distance.
Advanced internal camera software delivers a crisp
image without the need for user adjustments. The
Voyager II provides high quality thermal imaging in
any night or daytime environmental conditions.
Uncooled system
Both thermal cameras in the Voyager II use an uncooled
microbolometer detector producing a 320 x 240 pixels high
resolution image. An uncooled system means that there are
no moving parts which virtually eliminates downtime and
maintenance.
Two thermal imaging cameras
The Voyager II is equipped with two separate thermal imaging
cameras. One has a 35 mm (20 feld of view) wide angle lens,
the other is equipped with a 140 mm (5 feld of view) narrow
feld of view lens.
Continuous zoom
The Voyager II is equipped with a continuous zoom. The Voyager
II accomplishes this with two independent thermal cameras. It
allows the captain to keep a broad situational awareness while
at the same time giving him the possibility to zoom in onto
objects that are very small or far away.
Integrated long range daylight / low light camera
with continuous zoom
By the touch of a button you can switch between the infrared
and the daylight / low light camera. It provides you additional
information and identifcation when conditions permit.
Designed for use in harsh maritime environments
The Voyager II is an extremely rugged system. Its vital core
is well protected, IP66 rated, against humidity and water.
The Voyager II can be cleaned with a hose just like any other
equipment. The corrosion resistant housing protects drive
motors and ensures long life. The Voyager II operates between
-25C and +55C.
The Voyager II has a built-in heater to defrost its protective
window. This ensures a clear lens and good quality infrared
images displayed on your monitor even in extremely cold
environments.
Advanced gyro-stabilization
The Voyager II is gyroscopically stabilized. The system
compensates for even unconfortable sea-state and allows
you to see a steady image even in rougher waters.
Fast, precision Pan/Tilt system
Thanks to its precision, fast, pan and tilt system, the Voyager
II allows for easy following of fast moving vessels or other
objects.

Radar Connection slew-to-cue
The Voyager II can be connected to a radar system in a so-called
slew-to-cue confguration. The Voyager II is able to identify
and track radar targets by using the National Marine Electronics
Association (NMEA) 0183 protocol. The NMEA 0183 protocol
allows the camera to automatically point towards vessels and
other objects that show up on the radar display and to track
their movement. When enabled, this means that if the radar
detects an object, the Voyager II will automatically turn in the
right direction and follow the object, so that you can see what
the blip on you radar screen really means.
Joystick control unit (JCU)
The Voyager II comes standard with a Joystick Control
Unit (JCU) to operate the pan and tilt, switch between
thermal / daylight image and focus / autofocus , zoom in and
out. The unit is equipped with back-light dimming so that you
will always keep your night vision. Stabilization
and azimuth stabilization can also be turned
of/on through the JCU.
A "home" button on the JCU allows the user
to automatically return the position of the
Voyager II to an operator defned position. Extra
JCU's to control the Voyager II from a maximum
of 4 diferent positions are optionally available.
The images from the Voyager II thermal
and daylight cameras can be displayed
on virtually any existing multi-function
(i.e. chart plotter) display that accepts
composite video.

Easy-to-install
Various options exist to connect the Voyager II. It can be
confgured for stand alone use or optionally as part of a TCP/IP
network:
- Stand alone use:
Simply connect the Voyager II over the Joystick control unit. A
video cable can be connected to any multi-function display
that accepts composite video.
- Remote control over TCP/IP
The Voyager II can easily be connected to any TCP/IP network
so that you can control your camera from any location in
the world over the internet. It allows you to see the images
produced by the Voyager II at any location on your vessel.
You can check on you vessel wherever you are in the world,
without being on board.

Increase safety and security on board
Any accident at sea does not only have severe consequences
for the vessel but also for its passengers and crew. Protect your
investment and the people on board, see clearly in the darkest
environment by using the Voyager.
Short to medium range threat detection
A shipboard environment can be very isolated and vulnerable.
Today, more than ever, shipboard security is important. The
Voyager II allows you to see what is around you, even at far
distances. You can monitor activity in port or at anchor and see
approaching vessels or people without alerting them that they
are being watched.
Voyager II : numerous applications in maritime environments
Man overboard searches
Finding a person that has fallen overboard within the shortest
possible time-frame is of the utmost importance. Not only
can the person foat away from the vessel but hypothermia
is an important factor to take into account. Thanks to the FLIR
Systems Voyager, you can quickly locate the drowning person
and help him out of the water.
Day time navigation
The Voyager II detects objects in any light condition. Also in
broad daylight, the Voyager II can detect objects that remain
invisible for the naked eye. It is not afected by glare from the
sun. The Voyager II will allow you to see through the glare, and
detect possible obstacles, when navigating during sunrise or
sunset.
Anti-Piracy
Yachts are meant to provide a means of escape to remote and
exotic places. An approaching blip on your radar screen can
also mean danger. The Voyager II allows you to see vessels on
the horizon and provides you with decision making capability
before it is too late.
Night time navigation See in total darkness
No longer will sunset and sunrise dictate your boating
schedule. The Voyager II allows you to see in total darkness
and is well suited for night time navigation. You can clearly see
channel markers, shipping lane trafc, outcroppings of land,
bridge pilings, foating debris, exposed rocks, other vessels and
any other foating object that might damage your ship when
undetected.
